Methodology: The World's Best Hospitals 2020 ranking lists the best hospitals in 20 countries (and one city-state): United States, Canada, Germany, France, United Kingdom, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Israel, South Korea, Japan, Singapore, India, Thailand, Australia and Brazil. The rankings are based on recommendations from medical professionals, results from patient surveys and key medical performance indicators. Statista, in collaboration with trusted insurance provider GeoBlue, invited tens of thousands of medical professionals in the selected countries to an online survey from September to November 2019. The survey was also promoted on Newsweek.com. The number of awards per country varied based on the number of hospitals and data availability. The U.S. had the most hospitals awarded, with 300, and U.S. hospitals are also recognized with a best in state award. Scores are comparable only between hospitals in the same country. The study includes a Global Top 100 list. Specialized hospitals, like heart or cancer hospitals, are displayed in a separate list, sorted alphabetically.
